Thank you for considering volunteering your time and talent to empower kids to make a difference in the community! We are looking for local, Sacramento region volunteers for our programs! We are a volunteer-driven organization, and rely on our amazing volunteers to make our programs possible. Being a volunteer with Count on Kids is a great opportunity to get involved with our growing Leadership Squad (youth members) and all we have to offer. Count on Kids welcomes volunteers who have the same vision for providing children opportunities to give back to their communities through community service projects.

Our Event Assistant position will provide general assistance the day of our community event. You can choose which events you would like to volunteer at, we simply ask that you commit to the entire event, rather than a portion of it.

Some of the responsibilities include:

• Set up of event equipment and supplies
• Greeting of families and validation of registration

• Socializing with caregivers to obtain feedback on event and organization
• Tear down and clean up of event equipment and supplies

An application will be provided and upon completion a phone screen will be conducted.

• Since you are representing Count on Kids, a professional but fun demeanor is a must
• You must be willing to provide essential event support such as event organization, set-up and clean-up.
• Experience working with children ages 3-18, helpful but not necessary
• Must be able to volunteer for the full event
